St Peter's Church is a church in Aston Flamville, Leicestershire. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

The church was built in the 11th century. It was possibly re-roofed in 1617. [3]

The font is modern and depicts Elijah in a chariot and Moses striking the rock with his staff. [3]

The tower contains two bells and is square, [4] after being changed from its original shape. [3]

The rectorial chair is set in the wall of the chancel. The chancel also has a memorial to Sir William Turville and his wife. [3]

The church has no aisles but does have a step leading to the chancel, a rare feature since most churches have 2. A kneeling knight stands next to the step. [3]

The chancel was restored in 1855 and in 1873, was rebuilt [4] along with the porch, tower and nave. [5]
